I think it really depends upon the area you live in.  I'm in the Finger 
Lakes and most small stands operate on the honor system.  There is a can 
or lock-box to put the money in and most people are honest.  We've had a 
roadside stand to take our leftovers from our CSAs for the past few 
years.   We usually do a few thousand a year with it and have never lost 
more than 3-5% to people helping themselves.
